FRIEL, MARY ELLEN 1898

Source: Family Collection

Engagement portrait of Mary Ellen, done in 1898.  She 
married Anthony "Tony" Joseph FRIEL at St. Patrick Catholic 
Church Cleveland, OH in 1899.  She was from Streamstown 
Westport County Mayo Ireland. Her husband was "first 
generation" Irish American.  His mother was from Shraheen 
Achill Island and his father from Owenwee area of County 
Mayo.

Additional Comments: Her hair appears short due to just 
recovery from Typhus.  It was customary to cut the hair to 
assist in lowering the temperature.  She emigrated about 
1894 to Cleveland, OH.
